I Don't Need Help

We finally went to our seats, just in time to see 5 Seconds of Summer finish up performing. We were actually very close, so we could see good. Once they went off the stage, a bunch of other groups came and it was finally time for One Direction to come on. They made this big appearance. A floating ball landed and there they were. I saw Harry looking out everywhere, as if he were trying to find someone. His gaze almost met mine, but he skipped me. I was the outcastes once again.
They started performing their songs, and I was enjoying it. Quinn was screaming her head off. Then, it was their last song. "Little Things" was a song I really liked, and now they finally will perform it. They started, but Harry cut them off. "I have an announcement," he said. The other boys looked confused. This wasn't planned.
"So I met this girl in a hallway before the concert. She was really shy and self-conscious. I got her to give me her Twitter name and I looked at her profile. She basically has quotes there and some pictures of herself. The bad thing is.... There are tons of bad comment. Some are saying she should kill herself, and that she is a freak. She is actually very beautiful, and there is only one thing that makes her different from everyone else. Her eyes are kinda one color each, and they aren't contacts. She was born with them, which I think is the coolest thing ever. So, she may think she is a freak, but that is only because mean people are encouraging her to believe it. Just stop the mean comments. This song goes out to her. Don't listen to what they say, Winter Loves." My heart stopped. He was talking about me... No there has to be some other girl with my name. It's impossible.
I looked over to Quinn. Sh what the same shocked face as me. I felt my lip twitch upwards. "That's wrong! She should die!" I heard someone yell. Ruby. I then heard other people chanting "Winter must die" over and over again, until the whole stadium was chanting it. My lip dropped downwards. I started running out of the stadium. "Winter! Wait!" I heard Quinn yell, but it was just a whisper among the chanting. I was finally at the door. I looked back at all the people laughing at me and saying mean things about my eyes. I then brought my attention to the stage. Harry and all the other boys were looking at me, sympathy in their eyes. I shook my head and ran out.

I was in an empty hallway, similar to where I met Harry. I hid behind a vending machine and slid to the floor, hugging my knees. I silently cried. The concert was almost over. The sooner it ends, the sooner I leave. I checked my phone. Along with a million texts from Quinn, I had a tweet. "From @Harry_Styles: don't listen to them. Come back ;)" that made me cry even more. I checked the time to see it was almost 12:00 a.m. The concert was over. I kept crying here until two security guards came up to me. "Are you Ms. Winter Loves?" The chubby one asked. I nodded. "Come with us," the bulkier one commanded. I wiped my cursed eyes and followed them to what seemed like a dressing room.
The first person I saw was Quinn. She ran up to me and hugged me. "I'm sorry, Winter. I shouldn't have brought you," Quinn cried. I nodded into her shoulder. I couldn't cry anymore. I guess I cried out all the tears. "Winter?" A male voice called. I reluctantly let go of Quinn and looked towards the doorway. Harry. I shrugged my shoulders. I was then engulfed my a hug. I flinched. ,I didn't hug Harry back. "I'm sorry," he said. "So I came here to kick Harry's arse but I thought about it. He could help you. So I told him about you being bullied and your.... actions and he wanted to help," Quinn said. That's when I pushed Harry back. I turned to Quinn with a frown. She told him that I cut? "I only did it to help you," Quinn said. "I don't need help," I whispered, running out the room.
I found a bathroom. I took off my jacket. I saw that the cuts didn't fully heal yet. Stupid time. I started to wash them and screamed when I felt the alcohol I brought with me contact my open wound. I might as well give myself more to feel the pain. I locked myself in a stall and started cutting, deeper than before.
"Winter stop it!" I heard Quinn yell. Then, the stall door was kicked down. Thank god I was in the big stall. Quinn took the blade from me and threw it in the garbage. "I'm tired of you hurting yourself. You don't want what happened to me happen to you. You saved my life, now it's my turn to save yours," Quinn said.

FLASHBACK

Quinn's POV

I couldn't take the bullying anymore. The cuts weren't enough pain. I stood at the edge of the roof of a mall building. No one could see me. I leaned forward. I have to end it all. This is the only way.
"Stop Quinn!" I heard Winter yell. I was then yanked back and pulled into a hug. "Don't leave me," she cried. I sighed. I was trying to forget Winter. "I have to Winter," I said. "No you don't! You need to live a nice life. Weren't we going to live together? We will stick together no matter what, you hear me?" Winter demanded. A tear slipped down my face. She actually cared. I swore that I will be by her side forever until we die. "I understand," I said, another tear slipping down my cheek. "Good. Now how about we get some pizza?"

END OF FLASHBACK

Winter's POV

I remember that day crystal clear. I saved my best friend's life. I never regretted it either. It was after that day that people said I tried to push Quinn off the building. That's when the bullying started.
"So now I save your life. Come on. Let's clean those cuts up NOT painfully," Quinn smiled. I then actually hugged her. I actually did something useful. "Thanks," I whispered. "You're welcome, sis," Quinn said.
After cleaning the cuts Quinn and I went outside. Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn were in the hallway surrounded by girls. They were giving autographs to them. They were smiling... They forgot about me that quickly? I don't blame them. I'm quickly forgotten.
"Really?! You just forget her like that, huh? Harry, I thought you were different. Now that I see that smile on your face I see you really didn't care," Quinn yelled. She just couldn't let it go, could she? Harry and the other boys craned their necks to me and Quinn. They started pushing the girls out of the way, trying to get to me. I tugged on her arm, asking to go. She nodded and we walked away.

We were finally at my house. I just wanted to forget this day. I poked Quinn's mom's shoulder, thanking her for the ride. She knows I'm in depression. "No problem honey! I'll wait for you to go inside," her mom smiled. There were cop cars all around the house. As I walked up to the door, I rang the doorbell. A cop greeted me. "Are you Winter Loves?" He said. I nodded. "I'm afraid your parents have died in a car accident."
